Amanda never forgave her father for abandoning her and her sick mother when she was just a baby. Raised in foster care after her mother’s death, Amanda held onto that pain for years. One evening, she saw a photo in the newspaper—her estranged father, Robert, was engaged to a much younger woman named Carla.The old anger returned, and Amanda decided to get revenge. She snuck into Robert’s house while he was away, planted one of her earrings on his bed, then showed up pretending to be a secret lover. When Carla found the earring, she believed Amanda’s story and called off the engagement.

Days later, Amanda learned the wedding still happened. Her revenge hadn’t changed anything. Her mother’s old words echoed in her mind: “Anger is like a heavy stone—you have to let it go.”Eventually, Amanda returned to Robert’s home, not to fight—but to ask why. At the door, she revealed the truth: she was his daughter.Robert was shocked. Once inside, Amanda poured out years of pain and anger. Robert, filled with guilt, admitted he had run away from responsibility and never stopped regretting it.In tears, Amanda said, “I forgive you.” It didn’t erase the past, but it freed her from carrying its weight.
